  • The Gooding & Company auction at Pebble Beach was quite successful. The Porsche RS Spyder sold for $5,615,000. Three other Porsches found new owners: 962C ($1,435,000), 908/02 ($4,185,000), 934/5 ($885,000). On the other hand, the Ferrari 333 SP did not find a buyer. 

 

  • If we don't know what Norman Nato's 2023 Endurance programme will look like, the current Realteam by WRT driver in LMP2 will be back in Formula E next year. Winner of the final round of the 2020-21 season with Venturi, he will be – with Sacha Fenestraz – one of the two new drivers of the Nissan e.dams team.

     

  • Formula E again (sorry!), René Rast was the first driver announced by McLaren. In accordance with what we revealed to you, the German will thus share - from 2023 - his schedule between BMW and McLaren.

  • According to a statement by Juan-Manuel Correa, the 23-year-old Ecuadorian could contest the last two rounds of the ELMS at Spa-Francorchamps (25 September) and Portimao (16 October). As a reminder, due to an injury, he has been replaced since the beginning of the season at the wheel of the Prema Racing Oreca n°9 by Lorenzo Colombo. This weekend, he won't be able to be in Barcelona due to a clash with the FIA F3.

     

  • Mirage Racing will be on track in a week's time in the GT4 European Series at Hockenheim. Paul König, who joins from ADAC GT4 Germany, will be competing with Ruben Del Sarte in an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in the Silver class. Alban Lagrange and Frédéric de Brabant will be competing in the Am class in the Alpine A110 GT4.
